Mimi And Manja's Updates 16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Last night had been quite hectic and tiring for CP and her family. It's their first time handling the post-op care for two spayed females, Mimi and Manja. Apparently, Mimi is quite an escape artist. Despite reinforcing and fastening the cage with wires, she managed to squeeze out of the cage twice and that really caused a panic in the house. Finally, CP had to put the whole carrier (with Mimi) inside the cage. Mimi licking her wounds.Manja sitting up already.Mi...

A Kitten-S.O.S At Midnight 16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Yesterday evening, I was in Klang to give a public talk. I do not have blackberries or internet facilities on my phone, so I have no access to emails whenever I am not in front of a computer. When I reached home at almost 11pm, I found three emails from a young lady named Jess. Jess was desperately in need of a fosterer for a kitten she had just rescued. Here's her first email:Dear Dr.Chan,Just now (around 5.30pm) my car broke down & I had to take taxi to the car shop...

AnimalCare Is NOT A Shelter 16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
I received an email yesterday, from someone who asked if I could give her advice on setting up a dog shelter. Apparently, she had heard that AnimalCare is a shelter. I'd like to clarify here that AnimalCare has never been and is still not an animal shelter. I also do not foresee us becoming a shelter in the future. I suppose with so many new people coming into the scene of animal welfare work, it might do well for me to clarify this from time to time. I thought our mission s...

Tina's Cat, Spayed 16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
I received a call yesterday from a Mrs Tan who asked for help to spay one female cat. Apparently, there is a Malay lady by the name of Tina (or Lina, I couldn't quite hear properly on the phone) who is a cat-feeder. Tina has been feeding stray cats for many years and lately, she had been unwell. Mrs Tan wanted to help Tina get this particular female cat spayed, but she herself (Mrs Tan) is also a cat caregiver and has been stretched to the limit with her own cases. Mrs Ta...

CP and her family did not have any prior experience in handling cats until....Mimi came into their lives. Mimi had given birth to a litter of 3 kittens in CP's house compound and thus started CP and her family's wonderful learning experience in looking after and caring for stray cats. Two weeks ago, CP brought the male cat, Didi, to be neutered at our panel vet under our sponsorship. CP's learning experience also included an S.O.S by another rescuer who needed help with two new...

A Heart-Warming Story - Amy, The Cat Rescuer 15th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
My friend, Mary Yap, has been dropping in regularly these few weeks ever since our latest tshirts arrived. Mary is, by far, our No.1 tshirt-seller! She really goes all out to help us sell to friends and relatives, and I cannot thank her enough. First of all, Mary was also the one who got me Erin's (our designer) contact. So, no Mary, no tshirts. That says it all.Anyway, Mary was telling me about one of her neighbours by the name of Amy. Amy is a very kind-hear...

Poor, Poor Facebook Doggie 15th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/04/facebook-doggi e-waiting-for-his-owner.htmlMy daughter told me apparently DBKL has taken the doggie away. Sigh...this is so sad. Someone must have lodged a complaint and DBKL acted. This shows that there is really no time to lose if we really want to save any animal, especially lost dogs. If we can, take the animal in first so that its safe. But that itself is a huge responsibility, because it means we may end up having to ad...

FOOLS! 14th Apr 2011, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/4 /14/central/8475437&sec=centralThe Subang Jaya Municipal Council does not cease to amaze us. Apart from being one of the biggest abusers of canines in Selangor, the council has also proven over and over again that it is a dog-hating imbecile. The latest crap that has come from this troubled local council is its witch hunt plan of dogs belonging to the eight breeds mentioned in the article. Surely, the council isn't actually thinking that pe...
